Upgrading Server and Super Cache

by josh on April 17, 2012

Update 2: Sweet!  Server load is currently .04!  Down from topping out over 50.2 yesterday =[

Update: The server should be upgraded.  Server loads are 0.50 and below as opposed to 3.06+

You may have noticed that the site has been intermittently inaccessible over the past day, days, weeks, months, etc.  This is due to your insatiability.  The current server couldn’t handle the increase in traffic.  Just over half way through April, the website has already served up over a terabyte of bandwidth and 5,378,694 files.  I have installed a cache plugin that should greatly ease the server load.  I also tripled the processor power and quadrupled the amount of memory available to the site.  The upgrade is in the queue, but has not yet happened.  Hopefully within 24 hours we’ll be running at blazing speeds.   There shouldn’t be more than a moment of downtime.

Even if it’s a hassle for me, thank you for your continued patronage.

Thanks for the upgrade… and for the site, Josh. You have a good thing going. I don’t post much but read often. Keep up the good work.

Josh, I don’t know what the heck a server load is, but thanks for all your efforts to improve your site. It is, by far, the most entertaining Disney site out there.

I have noticed that people on disboards have referenced you a lot the last few weeks. That can only be good.

…so it’s not a Josh Uniform. It’s just the only clothes left that you didn’t sell? LOL.

We’re done with our trip and have nothing planned in the near future, but I’m still reading and looking forward to your posts everyday. I am addicted. Thanks for the work you do in keeping us entertained and for the upgrade. You’re the best!

Josh, I love that when you say you’re upgrading servers, it takes like a nanosecond…not years, like some other place that shall remain nameless (to protect the incompetent). ROFL

I can only assume that Josh has taken on an unpaid intern whose full-time duties consist of managing his schedule for the “free booze from grateful readers” pit-stops in the parks.

Josh – congrats on your load!

It sure must feel great to be that much lighter.

I wasn’t willing to take it there.

But I like it.
